Working in Brisbane and Melbourne, touring nationally and internationally, debase has been creating new shows since 1998.
We produce a wide range of work for a wide range of audiences; from children’s theatre to cabaret and everything in-between.
For debase, the relationship with our audience is paramount. This is reflected in the way we create and program work with and for specific audiences.

debase 20th Birthday Bash Spectacular
Who’d have thought that twenty years ago, we’d all be here, still making theatre and still making each other laugh.
Over our twenty years we have produced over 40 original works, created performance events in nightclubs, warehouses, bars and on the streets. Our works have been seen by over 200 000 people in Australia, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Great Britain. We have worked with over 800 artists, used over 300 red noses and consumed innumerable ice cold beers.
Thanks to all those who have joined us on this crazy ride so far.
